Excellent, Chris! I’m mentally going through my top drawer, and I can only think of one that’s not on your list. IMHO it’s common enough to be listed. I’ve seen it with lots of different names/packaging (Bass Pro Shop, etc.) but I think of it as the Channel Craft top. Maple, plastic tip, about the size of a Sidewinder, with 3 grooves around it?

Have Fun,

I forgot BC tops too.  
I think the Channel Crafter wood top is the same as the original Toy Crafter wood top, so I just added it there.

The Bearing King is excellent at its price.  
Don’t forget to check the seating of the Bearing and to tape it.

And while you are updating you should also include the newer and newest models by  
Trompos-Space.

Mercurio  
Neptuno

And by the way, Trompo Space tops are now available for sale in the US at [http://turnertoys.com/trompos\_space/](http://turnertoys.com/trompos_space/)
